In this episode of Journal Club, we review:
Reduced Sulfur Diet Reshapes the Microbiome and Metabolome in Mild-Moderate Ulcerative Colitis by Ye et al.
Sneak Peek of the Content
In this 1-hour conversation, we unpack new research from the University of Calgary exploring the role of sulfur-containing foods in ulcerative colitis (UC) management — and what it could mean for dietitians supporting clients with IBD.
Specifically, we cover:
✅ Does reducing dietary sulfur alongside standard therapy improve UC disease activity?
✅ How do these changes influence the gut microbiome and fecal metabolome?
✅ What can this mean for long-term relapse prevention and personalized IBD care?
With patients increasingly showing interest in alternative diets for managing their UC, this study offers valuable insights — and a local perspective — to help us answer with more clarity and confidence whether this particular dietary approach could be helpful.
A must-watch for dietitians curious about how dietary sulfur may shape the future of IBD nutrition care!
